Want To Trade?

What's the number of your tag? Mine is 6266. I'll trade if you want to.

And on a related/unrelated topic: What's the best way to display the tags collected? Someone suggested a magnetic white board but I haven't found one yet. I did get a 8"x11" metal board at Michaels, and it has a hole at the top so you can hang it on a nail. Cost about $5.00 but wasn't too pretty. I also bought very small magnets to put on the back of the tags, also at Michaels. You can stick them on the refrigerator too but I worry about them getting knocked off and lost. Hollora wears them on a necklace but it's getting heavy. I saw a photo of someone who hung them on a fake Christmas tree but I didn't really like that. Hanging them on a fake plant or a birch branch might look good.

But I just tried an attractive $2.00 8"x10" photo frame from Wal-Mart and put a sheet of magnetic paper in it, black side out. Now that looks nice with the colorful tags.

And do you realize that some people have 24 different designs! I thought I was doing good to get one design..... but I am working on another....

I read through several of the threads on pathtags but couldn't find out what they do. I found one from Martes and the hookers today but tried to log as a coin or TB and it didn't work. Was I supposed to take it? Am I now cursed for having it in my possession?

crossing paths?

You log the tag with the number on the back. What you are doing is saying that you "crossed paths" with whoever's tag you have. A person has a unique number, which is on their tags; unlike a geocoin where the coin has the unique number. You can also see who else has "crossed paths" with whoever. They're gaining popularity fast! I heard through the grapevine that these were the must-have items at the mega events this year. Enjoy!

Sure, you can take it and keep it. A lot of people are confused about this, they think it's like a geocoin or TB. It's not. If you don't want it, you can just drop it in another cache. In other words, it's swag.

I have two now but the second one is only available (currently) to people who complete GC1EE71.
